Program for the native title and broader Indigenous sector

In the early years of the Aurora Project, we provided training and professional development to support staff working in native title, however since mid 2016, we are no longer funded for that part of our work.

Since inception of the Aurora Project through to the present, the Aurora Internship Program (the Program) continues to provide intern support to over 150 Indigenous sector organisations working in the area of native title, land rights, policy and community development, health policy, education, justice and research.

The Program continues to attract enthusiastic participation by students and graduates from universities across Australia as well as overseas, with over 6,000 applications received and over 2,000 internship placements arranged, For more information, see the Aurora Internship Program.

Learning intimate and intricate details of the culture of the Western Desert people (particularly men’s law) has fostered a strong appreciation of native title and its importance to Indigenous people.
